Player Camera Auto-Align

Description
Auto-aligns camera back to center.

To toggle feature on/off, hold free-look key (default Alt) and press camera mode key (default V).


Huge thanks to Digi for all his mods and examples I'm learning from!
This code uses a small part of the Camera Panning mod code to auto-align camera back to front.

AccidentallyTheCable and Me had this idea for some time. I'm sure we're not the only ones that wanted such a feature.


IMPORTANT
Not tested in MP/DS!

Update 1
Restricted auto-align to player character 3rd person and cockpits for now.
As in most cases the remote uses cameras which isn't handled by this mod and seats usually not having a prominent cockpit role-- plus the lack of lerp on seats, i decided to disable auto-align on them. If i find a solution to the lack of lerp, might reintroduce auto-align to seats again.

Camera won't auto-align if not moving.

@Sergej, game limitations or at least I haven't figured out a workaround yet. :(
Also, thanks for the suggestions. :)

Why and how did i find this mod only now? A wonderful thing!
The mod name is totally the cause and is misleading and stuff! I thought it was a submod for Digi's camera mod! Player Camera Auto-Align would be much much clearer and descriptive, not all of the players are native speakers.
Would it be perhaps possible to do a less snappy return on first person view, or are there game limitations?
